[Decompression of geniculate ganglion of facial nerve]. 1990

Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital.

Decompression of geniculate ganglion of facial nerve in 20 cases of facial palsy caused by temporal bone fracture, herpes zoster otitic and Bell's palsy was reported. Sixteen cases had been followed up for half to four years. Complete recovery was observed in 13 cases and partial recovery in 3 cases. Transmastoid-attical approach was used. The geniculate ganglion and the distal part of the labyrinthine segment of the facial nerve could be exposed by this approach. The authors emphasized the importance of decompression of the geniculate ganglion, because of the anatomic characteristics and the pathologic features. The indications, the surgical approach and the precautions during operation were discussed.

D005154 Facial Nerve The 7th cranial nerve. The facial nerve has two parts, the larger motor root which may be called the facial nerve proper, and the smaller intermediate or sensory root. Together they provide efferent innervation to the muscles of facial expression and to the lacrimal and SALIVARY GLANDS, and convey afferent information for TASTE from the anterior two-thirds of the TONGUE and for TOUCH from the EXTERNAL EAR.

D005158 Facial Paralysis Severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. This condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. Damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. FACIAL NERVE DISEASES generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.

D005830 Geniculate Ganglion The sensory ganglion of the facial (7th cranial) nerve. The geniculate ganglion cells send central processes to the brain stem and peripheral processes to the taste buds in the anterior tongue, the soft palate, and the skin of the external auditory meatus and the mastoid process.
